The Australian Government will require a mandatory recall of certain vehicles with frontal Takata airbag inflators to be carried out by 31 December 2020.
This will entail a staged recall of affected Volkswagen vehicles over the next three years.
Volkswagen will contact owners to let them know when they should visit a dealer to have their Takata airbag inflator replaced.
No Volkswagen vehicle is fitted with an airbag from the alpha population.
No new or current model Volkswagen variant is affected.
At this time the recall applies to 106,804 Volkswagen vehicles.
